Yep, in that case I wouldn’t mind if they spent that 20-40 cents on speeding up new freeway lanes, such as the I-15, 163 to 56. (plenty of unemployed people who would love to work) Traffic would be reduced, pollution would go down.

I’m all for Pigovian taxes.

Tax booze, tobacco, gambling and junk food while you are at it.

I assume diesel is exempt?

I would think that the govt will be raising all kinds of fees and transaction costs,etc… they’re losing lots of revenue from property and sales tax already and raising income tax when unemployment is rising is tough to do. They cant get blood from a turnip, so it makes sense that they are going to start looking for people making money in other ways and try to get a bigger part of it.

I would also support an additional gas tax. Remember how nice the freeways were when gas was over $4.00/gal? I love taxes when the taxpayer has control over the amount he/she is taxed.

All that being said, I’d love to see an organized, volunteer, taxpayer advocacy group that would have control over this money. It wouldn’t do us any good if they raised taxes but didn’t correct how they are spending the money. Like sand running through your fingers, tax revenues run through politicians’ hands. We need strong oversight by people who cannot be bought off, and are not affected by lobbyists.
